French Guiana, an overseas region of France on the northern Atlantic coast of South America, appears to be a magnet for immigrants, both legal and illegal, from all over the world.
The 2,000km-long frontier of French Guiana - which consists of a single department - is bordered between Suriname and Brazil by rivers, making its borders porous and difficult to police.
These factors, as well as what local politician Paulin Brune calls "liberal" French immigration laws, have made the region a gateway to Europe.

In French Guiana, illegal gold mining has been thriving for decades. Fuelled by clandestine workers from neighbouring Suriname and Brazil, this criminal enterprise has reached near-industrial proportions, destroying thousands of hectares of precious rainforest. But lately, the French armed forces have been cracking down on this illegal activity. FRANCE 24's Nicolas Pouillot reports on their efforts.

The nations of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana are some of the most fascinating places to learn about in the entire world, being a mix of mostly Indian and African culture in the continent of South America, but how did this come to be?
Today, we're going to be exploring the history and people of these South AmericanLatino(ish) nations, and how the modern people of these places came to be there, and what the current makeup looks like today.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the Guianas in the comments down below. Thanks for watching!

History

Before the arrival of European explorers, the Guianas were populated by scattered bands of Arawak Indians. The native tribes of the Northern Amazon are most closely related to the natives of the Caribbean; most evidence suggests that the Arawaks immigrated from the Orinoco and EssequiboRiver Basin in Venezuela and Guiana into the northern islands, and were then supplanted by more warlike tribes of CaribIndians, who departed from these same river valleys a few centuries later.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi). Its population as of 2005 has been estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America). The most populous countries are Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela and Peru.

In Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, French Guiana's second-largest city, one in three residents is foreign and often there illegally. To reach this South American region of overseas France, many illegal immigrants arrive from neighbouring Surinam by crossing the RiverMaroni. Shanty towns are now swelling, infrastructure is inadequate, and maternity units are overcrowded. Meanwhile, drug traffickers are thriving and are recruiting thousands of unemployed young people to smuggle cocaine over to Paris.

The Wild Coast: An Exploration of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana

The Wild Coast: An Exploration of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana

The Wild Coast: An Exploration of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana

Go to http://www.lamanchamedia.org for more info about this film and to see more.
The WildCoast is a physical, historical and philosophical exploration of the Guianas, the three countries that make up the northeast of South America. None of these three countries speak Spanish as an official language and one has English as the official language. They are quite unique and still very much wild and untamed. In our filming the main theme of the Guianas is freedom. As you will see in the film, freedom has both been trampled on and clinged-to at very great costs.
The film explores what happened at Jonestown, where 900 people died during a mass suicide/murder led by cult leader Jim Jones in 1973. It explores the freedom-loving Maroon people of Suriname who were brought as slaves from Africa but rebelled against their slave owners establishing their own communities in the jungle and fighting back against their former slave masters. This group later would fight against the Marxist dictator president of Suriname, Desi Bouterse during the Suriname Guerilla War. And finally we explore the penal system in French Guiana, and specifically Henri Charrière and his book Papillon, the greatest story of prison escape every told, and where he eventually escaped to, Venezuela (with a glorious look at the Angel Falls in Canaima National Park).

‘Not Father Christmas’: Macron refuses to give extra funds to impoverished French Guiana

The French president’s visit to the territory of French Guiana in South America has been met by violent protests.
The demonstrations against Macron came after he said he would not be giving additional funding to the impoverished region, explaining he was not ‘Father Christmas’ on Twitter.

For more than two weeks, mass protests and strikes have paralysed the French department of Guiana. The association Pour que la Guyanne décolle (Get Guianna going) has called on the French state to free up some €3 billion in financial aid to provide the social investment so desperately needed to renew roads and buildings, and improve the health system, schools and security.
Many Guiana residents feel that although the region belongs to France, the French Republic has abandoned them in terms of its financial responsibilities. Our reporters traveled to Guiana to speak to those who feel forgotten by the French state and when, how and why, this feeling became so deeply entrenched within their society.

Go to http://www.lamanchamedia.org for more info about this film and to see more.
The WildCoast is a physical, historical and philosophical exploration of the Guianas, the three countries that make up the northeast of South America. None of these three countries speak Spanish as an official language and one has English as the official language. They are quite unique and still very much wild and untamed. In our filming the main theme of the Guianas is freedom. As you will see in the film, freedom has both been trampled on and clinged-to at very great costs.
The film explores what happened at Jonestown, where 900 people died during a mass suicide/murder led by cult leader Jim Jones in 1973. It explores the freedom-loving Maroon people of Suriname who were brought as slaves from Africa but rebelled against their slave owners establishing their own communities in the jungle and fighting back against their former slave masters. This group later would fight against the Marxist dictator president of Suriname, Desi Bouterse during the Suriname Guerilla War. And finally we explore the penal system in French Guiana, and specifically Henri Charrière and his book Papillon, the greatest story of prison escape every told, and where he eventually escaped to, Venezuela (with a glorious look at the Angel Falls in Canaima National Park).

The French president’s visit to the territory of French Guiana in South America has been met by violent protests.
The demonstrations against Macron came after he said he would not be giving additional funding to the impoverished region, explaining he was not ‘Father Christmas’ on Twitter.

For more than two weeks, mass protests and strikes have paralysed the French department of Guiana. The association Pour que la Guyanne décolle (Get Guianna going) has called on the French state to free up some €3 billion in financial aid to provide the social investment so desperately needed to renew roads and buildings, and improve the health system, schools and security.
Many Guiana residents feel that although the region belongs to France, the French Republic has abandoned them in terms of its financial responsibilities. Our reporters traveled to Guiana to speak to those who feel forgotten by the French state and when, how and why, this feeling became so deeply entrenched within their society.

Full Effect: French Guiana

Nestled on the Northern side of South America's Eastern edge, the forgotten French Guiana stands the testament of time reminding us of the long forgotten French colonization of the 19th century. An infusion of French culture and history intermingle with South America's ancient indigenous populations. Flying high above the rich ecosystems of the Amazon rainforest, a symphony of sounds radiate vertically above the clouded canopy. Navigating through the dusty streets of the capital city of Cayenne, it's a city society with flavours and experiences unrivaled in its diversity. Their flag and tongue may be both French in form, but their people, are far from Parisian. French Roots in the heart of the Amazon jungle. This is French Guiana.

3 Guyanas (Guyana, Suriname & FR. Guiana) - Travel with H

I came to this strange land without any expectations. These "3 brothers" welcoming me with smiley face, sharing similar history, learning different culture, tasting delicious foods, exploring Caribbean vibe blending together with colonial architecture. Will great moment for sure!
Although, geographically, these three brothers of West Indies trapped in Latin' world. But, its a of land of paradise. A work of art, a heart is gleaming gold, it sailed the waters soared above the trees. To find the gems between mounts and seas. Your people fight for liberty, where it came form long history.
May the God blessings will never leave your shore, "Three Guyanas" (Guyana, Suriname & French Guiana).

We jumped in a boat in Suriname and came to this awesome country. Checked out a rocket launch, hitchhiked everywhere, and even got a 5-course French meal in for free as a walker-by took pity on us poor backpackers. We then stayed in Cayenne with the lovely Elisabeth and her housemates who we found via couchsurf. Genuinely lovely people, shame I didn't have any footage of them.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Guyana.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. According to the WorldwideWaterfall Database’s rankings of the top waterfalls in the world, Guyana is home to the No. 2 waterfall — Kaieteur Falls. Kaieteur Falls in Guyana is around 741ft (226m) high and this means it’s over four times higher than the Niagara Falls (51m).
2. It is the only English-speaking country in South America, along with being one of the four non-Spanish speaking regions, and is the only South-American country to have English as its official language (the others are Brazil, Suriname, and French Guiana).
3. Guyana has vast areas of rainforests which are considered to be the most unspoiled rainforests in the world. Almost 80% of this country is covered by forests which boast of rich biodiversity with some endemic and some atypical species of plants and animals.
4. On November 18, 1978, American religious cult leader Jim Jones, along with his 909 followers, committed mass suicide in Jonestown in Guyana which threw the country into sudden attention worldwide. This mass suicide, done for political reasons, was considered the greatest loss of American civil life in a single non-natural event until the September 11, 2001 attacks.
5. The capital of Guyana is Georgetown, which lies at the mouth of the Demerara River on the Atlantic Ocean. It was founded in 1781 and is named after the British KingGeorge III. It was renamed by the French to Longchamps and the Dutch to Stabroek, by retaken by the British in 1814 and called Georgetown again.
6. Guyana has a large Indian (South Asian) population. Nearly half of its population is of Indian heritage, and nearly thirty percent of Guyanese practice Hinduism. Slavery was outlawed in 1834, and the great need for plantation workers led to a large wave of immigration, primarily of East Indians.
7. Guyana has two of the world’s longest floating bridges. Among the world’s longest bridges is the DemeraraHarbor Bridge, which is 1,851 meter long, and the Berbice RiverBridge 1,570 meters both of these bridges are pontoon floating bridges which stretches across two of the main three rivers of Guyana.

French Guiana - magnet for immigrants

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
French Guiana, an overseas region of France on the northern Atlantic coast of South America, appears to be a magnet for immigrants, both legal and illegal, from all over the world.
The 2,000km-long frontier of French Guiana - which consists of a single department - is bordered between Suriname and Brazil by rivers, making its borders porous and difficult to police.
These factors, as well as what local politician Paulin Brune calls "liberal" French immigration laws, have made the region a gateway to Europe.
Al Jazeera'sAnand Naidoo reports from Cayenne, French Guiana's capital.

In French Guiana, illegal gold mining has been thriving for decades. Fuelled by clandestine workers from neighbouring Suriname and Brazil, this criminal enterprise has reached near-industrial proportions, destroying thousands of hectares of precious rainforest. But lately, the French armed forces have been cracking down on this illegal activity. FRANCE 24's Nicolas Pouillot reports on their efforts.
A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Florence Viala.

A Mix of Indians and Africans in South America? People of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana

The nations of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana are some of the most fascinating places to learn about in the entire world, being a mix of mostly Indian and African culture in the continent of South America, but how did this come to be?
Today, we're going to be exploring the history and people of these South AmericanLatino(ish) nations, and how the modern people of these places came to be there, and what the current makeup looks like today.

In Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, French Guiana's second-largest city, one in three residents is foreign and often there illegally. To reach this South American region of overseas France, many illegal immigrants arrive from neighbouring Surinam by crossing the RiverMaroni. Shanty towns are now swelling, infrastructure is inadequate, and maternity units are overcrowded. Meanwhile, drug traffickers are thriving and are recruiting thousands of unemployed young people to smuggle cocaine over to Paris.

The Wild Coast: An Exploration of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana

Go to http://www.lamanchamedia.org for more info about this film and to see more.
The WildCoast is a physical, historical and philosophical exploration of the Guianas, the three countries that make up the northeast of South America. None of these three countries speak Spanish as an official language and one has English as the official language. They are quite unique and still very much wild and untamed. In our filming the main theme of the Guianas is freedom. As you will see in the film, freedom has both been trampled on and clinged-to at very great costs.
The film explores what happened at Jonestown, where 900 people died during a mass suicide/murder led by cult leader Jim Jones in 1973. It explores the freedom-loving Maroon people of Suriname who were brought as slaves from Africa but rebelled against their slave owners establishing their own communities in the jungle and fighting back against their former slave masters. This group later would fight against the Marxist dictator president of Suriname, Desi Bouterse during the Suriname Guerilla War. And finally we explore the penal system in French Guiana, and specifically Henri Charrière and his book Papillon, the greatest story of prison escape every told, and where he eventually escaped to, Venezuela (with a glorious look at the Angel Falls in Canaima National Park).

Full Effect: French Guiana

Nestled on the Northern side of South America's Eastern edge, the forgotten French Guiana stands the testament of time reminding us of the long forgotten French colonization of the 19th century. An infusion of French culture and history intermingle with South America's ancient indigenous populations. Flying high above the rich ecosystems of the Amazon rainforest, a symphony of sounds radiate vertically above the clouded canopy. Navigating through the dusty streets of the capital city of Cayenne, it's a city society with flavours and experiences unrivaled in its diversity. Their flag and tongue may be both French in form, but their people, are far from Parisian. French Roots in the heart of the Amazon jungle. This is French Guiana.

We jumped in a boat in Suriname and came to this awesome country. Checked out a rocket launch, hitchhiked everywhere, and even got a 5-course French meal in for free as a walker-by took pity on us poor backpackers. We then stayed in Cayenne with the lovely Elisabeth and her housemates who we found via couchsurf. Genuinely lovely people, shame I didn't have any footage of them.
